Long story short; I need a new pc. Already have some parts and I only need this:
Need:
Cooler not sure yet
MOBO H77 but not sure which one.
Have:
CPU i7 3770
RAM 16 G Corsair Vengeance 2x8 modules
Case HAF 922
PSU Corsair 750 (not sure of the model)
GPU 6870 saving for a substantial upgrade
Can you suggest a mobo and a nice cooler?
In the mobo field I do not need bling or bells and whistles. I am familiar with OC and the likes because of my brother; but I really do not mess around with that, I rather game a bit longer or do some work. I have never needed more than 1 GPU either. A reliable mobo is what I am looking for. I am some sort of an Asus fanboy so P8H77 somethig is preferred. Gigabyte is not out of the question either.
As for the cooler, down here, Cooler Master is the only one that has an authorized dealer and full warranty support, so they rank first. The system remains on most of the day and when it is used more intensively, the room it will be in gets really hot. An old 2500k no oc idle reached 42 C no problem in the same room with after market cooling.
The system will be used for gaming and video and photo editing and entertainment center.
